White House HStumDS :"

"There is another," said one of the door-keepcrs at the White House ono day not long ago. "What's thatT asked some one who was standing near by. "Why, cigar fiend," was the reply.
 "sec that man going off there," and he pointed to very respectable looking man walking away puffing at half smoked cigar. "We have regular GUS toners here-men who make it a prac- ice to come to the White House once or twice day and pick up stumps of cigars thrown on the porch or walk leading to the house. Cabinet days are their chief days, and when Congress is in session they live high. They know that cabinet officers and senators smoke good cigars and often they have just lighted one be- fore reaching the house and throw it away. You would be surprised to know the men who come here daily to pick up these cast off stumps-robins I believe the actors call them. The White House, you know, is tho place where all the prominent men of the country in town visit. These men invariably smoke good cigars, and it is picnic for the robin hunters Watch the porch some day and see for yourself. f.-[ Baltimore Sun.

A Friend in Need.

Rattlety bang! rattlety bang-down the street clattered a tin can tied to the tail of poor, friendless and frightened dog. A crowd of boys followed at the runaway's heels, with cries and shouts, increasing alike his terror and his speed, until, at last, he had distanced his pur- suers, but not, alasl that horrible, noisy thing that clattered and rattled at his heels. Thoroughly tired, and quite as thoroughly terrified, the poor dog looked to right and left as he ran, for help or shelter. At length he spied, at the cor ner of cross street not far away, a large, friendly looking Newfoundland dog. With piteous cries and an implor ing look, the exhausted dog dragged himself and his noisy appendage to the Newfoundland, and looked to him for help. Nor was his appeal unheeded, for the Newfoundland seemed to appreciate the position and at once showed himself to be generous dog. A patient gnaw- ing at the string finally released the can; and then lifting it in the air, the New foundland flung it from him with a triumphant toss of the head, while the other dog joy 'usly bounded up from his crouching position-thankful to be rid of the troublesome burden which his human tormcntors had inflicted upon him.-[St Nicholas.

Tie Life of Iron.

The strength of the Fay bridge at the time of its building was such that it was pronounced "pcrhaps the most remarka- ble structure in the world" Engineer ing, British magazine, speaking of its test, when five engines weighing 360 tons, were placed on single span, said: "The result is the establishment of this fact (so important to the public) that the bridge is strong out of all propor- tion to its possible necessities. The load which the structure is calculated to carry is six times greater than that to which it was subjected"
 And yet this great bridge, which cost -$1, 750, 900, collapsed within few months after it was finished, the acci- dent being the only one in all railroad history in which no survivor lived to tell the tale.
 The theory of specialization, now &C., cepted as accounting for many railroad accidents, seems peculiarly applicable to the fall of the Bussey bridge. Vlbra- tions and hammer blows would seem to have crystalized some portion of the structure and prepared it for fall when at last the "life" of a gardcr had been exhausted, and it broke beneath the engines humping driving wheels.- Philadelphia Record.

A Railroad in Q Desert.

Several interesting things seen in railroad building have been solved by the completion of the Trans.Caspi'n road from the Caspian Sea to the Anu. Daria or Oxus river. The road is unique in the fact that it is the only railroad in the world which runs through the nov ing sands of desert. Here and there along the $50 miles of completed track the road passes through regions covered by sand so fine that the slightest wind moves it. About 200 miles of the road runs through these sands. Some emi- nent engineers asserted that railroad could not be maintained amid these wastes. General Tchernaieff said it would be necessary to build side walls all the way, and he condemned the en- tire scheme, urging against it all the objections that had previously been raised in France against tho proposed Trans -Saharan railroal.
 The difficulties were certainly great but it seems likely that General Amen koff will achieve a complete triumph over the croakers who asserted that all his railroad cuttings would become choked with sand, and that the cmbank- ments would be blown away. He has employed different expedients on differ ent parts of the road to solve the prob lem of drifting sand, and with the mos. gratifying success. .-[Chicago Sun.

Horses in Mexico:

hear great deal of talk about heavy American horses not being adapted to the climate of Mexico, says Patrick Levy in the St. Louis Globe. Democrat, and l have been told by local experts that a small, wiry animal-pony build-was the only kind that could be acclimatized. This is all nonsense. l have been buy ing horses in St. Louis for years, and frequently purchase in New York and Kentucky, wherever a fine coach horse can be found. They all go.Ito the City of Mexico, where they thrive won derfully, seeming to live longer and pre- serve appearances after the time when, in this latitude, they grow woolly and scraggy. There are two horses, belong ing to private stable, which can not be less than 21 and 23 years old, respec- lively, as they were taken into the Re public over fifteen years ago, and have been in active service ever since.

The annual report of Western Manu- facturers' Mutual Insurance Company, gives some interesting facts as to fires in shops, which will bear the study of manufacturers. The statistics cover thirty three fires occurring in manufac- tories during 1886. The condensed ta- ble given shows that the greater de- struction from fire occurs between Satur- day night and Monday morning, fully seventy-five per cent. of the heavy losses occurring at this time. It is observed that in all of the nine destructive fires noted no private sprinklers or hose were applied, whereas in seventeen out of the twenty four small fires, private fire pro- lection played an important part. This surely is strong argument in favor of each manufactory being provided with such ready means for the extinguish- ment or holding in check, of incipient conflagrations. Not the least essential element in such safeguards is the regu- lar and systematic fire drill of employees. Only two of the fires arc attributed to carelessness-a conclusion with which it l. hard to agree.

The Beginning of a Fortune.

How one man secured tho beginning of fortune is related by the Chicago Journal:
 A man standing in front of the Palmer House, who said he was worth $2o, GOO, and who looked it, told me the following story: "shortly after the last presidcn- tial election Host everything I had ;n the world, aud determined to go just as far into the mountains of Colorado as could with the little loose change had, and hire myself as a miner. l went as far into the northwest part of the state as the railroads would take mo- and then spent my last $5 to go thirty miles further in stage, and then walked ten miles further, with nothing to eat and not cent of money, though the snow was flying. I was making for digging called ''F;y-trap Gulch." was in desperate state of mind, for it wasn't at all certain that would get work there. At last the smoke of the camp came in view, and l sat down to think what would do. remembered that l had copy of newspaper in my pocket, and that it contained the news of Cleveland's election. soon laid my plans. took the paper out of my pocket, partly unfolded it, clappel it under my arm and ran into the camp shouting at the top of my voice, Full account of C.eveland's election.' If a thunderbolt had lit in the camp there couldn't have been greater excitement. In two minutes I had twenty miners around mo, and there was almost a fight among them as to who should buy my paper at $2. That money kept me alive for two or three days until one of the miners was suddenly called away and got his place. Then one thing led to another until I got to speculating
 and made about $20, 00O."

The Skin of Ones Teeth.

It may be interesting to note that this cxprc cssion, which by many is regarded as vulgar slang, has really the high classical authority of the Bible. It is Job Gx., 20) who exclaims in his anguish, q am escaped with tho skin of my teeth." Some common sayings, such as "God tcmpers the wind to the shorn lamb." Pouring oil on the troubled waters" ''The war. horse scents the battle from afar," etc., are supposed to be in the Bible, though not so. But there are not many who, in using the ex- pression of hanging on or being saved by the "skin of their teeth," know tho authority for it's use.

A lessening speck she outward sped; Sadly we turned, but still we said: ''They will come back again we know"- Twas long ago, SD log ago! Those faces sweet, those happy eyes Looked never more on Western skies; Where the hot sunbeams weave their net Ger cedar>crowned, sad O.ivet, They who had shared their lives, shared
 death, Tasting at once the first strange breath Of thoss quick airs for souls that flow So long ago, so long ago! In vain we picture to our eyes The convent gray the still blue skies, The mountain with is bordering WOO: Still do they stand as then they stood, Towering like spirits fair and frail Against the dazzle of the sail; The red lips part, the faces glow, As long ago, so long ago!

Chinese Grass.

Rewards aggregating $50, 900 have been offered for the past few years by various foreign governments, particular ly the English, French and Chinese to tho man who could invent O machine that would spin ramie into yarns. Ramie is often called Chinese grass. It grows about four feet high. It is a perennial plant, and throws out numerous stems as thick as the little finger. The fibre of the inner bark is the useful portion and can be removed when the stems arc dried. By rubbing tho stems in the hand, the bark peels off and leaves this fbrous matter, which is very strong, in appear ance greatly resembling silk. For many years the Chinese have been spinning this fibre and weaving it by hand. It makes durable fabric, not unlike silk and linen in texture In France and Eng land it is used to mix with and add stabili- ty to silk. A Frenchman has invented machine to take the place of hand work. A large factory is now being built on the Hudson river, which will be used for this purpose. After the yarns are made they can be put on any loom and manufactured into all kinds of fabric. R,mic in its raw state is much stronger than Russian hemp and it is impossible to break it by using any ordinary force. When manufactured it can be used in almost any material. Ramie was first introduced into this country in 1867 in the Botanical Gardens at Washington. It was grown in Ja- maica in 1854. It is easier to raise than cotton, and three crops can be obtained each year. It can be raised from seed. India, Egypt and China are best suited for raising ramie. It sells in the raw state at about seven cents pound ol a little cheaper than cotton, but more money can be made out of ramie, be- cause it requires less attention and re- alizes in larger quantities. .-[Mail and Exnress.
